~1~ A conversation I had at the grocery store yesterday: I walk in and see a large display of fresh, bakery-made bread, for 99 cents a loaf. I excitedly grab a loaf. A man standing next to th...

You may have noticed the button on the right side of my blog, proudly annoucing, "I'm a Company Girl!" (Or maybe not. If you're like me and read all your blogs in a reader, you have no idea what ...

After seeing CrazyMomQuilts version of the WhirleyGiggle Quilt , I simply must make this quilt . (This picture is of the original "Scrappy Cartwheels" pattern, created by GreetingArts . The la...

My mouth, that is. Yesterday, at mass, the communion song was "Blest are They". I really like that song, and have a tendency to sing songs I like louder than usual. I didn't realize how loudly ...

Okay, at least one person does . Or maybe she just thinks I'm unflinchingly honest, and thus worthy of this award. I'll take what I can get. The fine print? List 10, honest things about myself a...

By popular demand (okay, like, 2 people....but in my world, that constitutes "popular demand"), I present to you a pretty typical Saturday, complete with my snarky commentary. I should alert you...

I've made mention before, I'm not a person "above" new year's resolutions. I'm not necessarily good at keeping them (how many years now have I resolved to lose weight?), but I do like making them...

This isn't especially brilliant, and honestly, I'm not even sure it's "Works-for-Me-Wednesday" appropriate. But I wanted to share it, and this seemed like as good a time as any. * * I disc...

For once, I've got my act together this week and can participate. (In my defense, I do generally have a menu for the week, it's just not often that I have it on Monday.) Most of the recipes this...

(Note: Blogger isn't letting me do pictures. Prepare for a post full of links.) (Update: Kim just told me my attempt to link to the GoogleDoc of my recipe is not working. I typed out the recipe ...

I've shared with a couple people now my extrordinary glee that Leah is almost walking. The reason, though, isn't exactly anything as pure and wholesome as maternal pride. It has more to do with t...

.....and pretend that today is Wordless Wednesday . Thanks for reading my feed....now come leave me a comment!

UPDATE: Despite the lack of pictures (which I promise to post tonight), the bread came out great. I did want to let you all know, though, that I did end up baking the bread for an extra 15 minute...

I could probably go into a long list of reasons why I have been such a lousy blogger through the holiday season. But a lot of you know the details, and the rest of you wouldn't likely care about ...

Today, WunderHubbee took the kids over to his parents and left me alone in the house for the day. I was the queen of productivity: 1.) Wrapped all the presents. (Okay, not all. I found a couple ...

I've always meant to participate in Jen's Seven Quick Takes , but never got around to it. It's now 10:30 on Friday night, and I suppose now is as good a time as any. 1.) The Duggar's just had t...

or: More Reasons I Will Not Be Winning "Mom of the Year" Reason One I made marshmallows. On the surface, this seems like a very "good mother," domestic-y thing to do. Except I messed it up. I bl...

Some of my fake friends and I were talking about Christmas candy and marshmallows came up. My recipe is from Martha Stewart, but the recipe I found on her web page is not the same as the one I us...

I'll have a "real" post later today, but for now, I thought I'd put up a post of our Christmas decorations here. I'm not normally big on slideshows, but there's a lot of pictures, so I thought it...

Some of you understand what the title is all about. The rest of you are wondering if I've fallen off the deep end. (Actually, that happened a long time ago....about the time I started having ch...

Since my adoring fans (okay, I can think of two, but that still qualifies as "fans," plural) are clamouring for a new post, it is fortunate that Chris tagged me. It's a pretty simple MeMe. All I...

Because surely I get one for making my kids these to take to the sitter today: Oh wait. That's right. I relinquished my award when I used this: And this: I did have coupons for both items....

Imagine if you will, a day spent lounging around your house. Well, maybe not lounging, but, perhaps, puttering. Let's say it's a Saturday. You have no appointments to go to, no place you need to ...

Don't tell me it's too early for Christmas. I won't listen. While I will restrain my urge to decorate my home until after Thanksgiving (as in, I'm putting up the tree Thanksgiving night), I start...
